FENC's footprint in recycled polyester production stretches across Taiwan, Mainland China, Japan, the US, and Southeast Asia. To bolster its leadership and propel the polyester sector towards greener pastures, FENC is actively expanding its capacity for high-value food-grade recycled polyester. Notably, the newly inaugurated Kansai plant in Japan, complementing the existing Kanto facility, is poised to solidify FENC's dominance in Japan's recycled polyester market. Furthermore, the imminent launch of Vietnam's recycling plant in the latter half of 2024 not only contributes to local recycling infrastructure but also advances Vietnam's circular economy agenda. Moreover, in Malacca, Malaysia, FENC broke ground on an expansion project for its recycled polyester factory in April 2024. Scheduled for production by the end of 2025, this expansion will create a fully integrated upstream-downstream operation with the existing bottle manufacturing plant, thus enhancing value creation along the supply chain. Across the Pacific, FENC's US plant completed its capacity expansion in the first half of 2024, injecting renewed vitality into the nation's circular economy.
